hey all. bought a 2000 model 330i a few weeks ago.
The lifters are pretty noisy, from cold and when warm.
Soon as i bought it i fully serviced it with genuine bmw parts/oil etc. flushed the oil aswell.
The noise has improved but still very loud.
anyone reccomend any additives? it has done 175,000miles....
